Here is the list of all Richard Burton movies.

Richard Burton was a Welsh actor born on November 10, 1925, in Pontrhydyfen, Wales. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of the 20th century, known for his commanding presence, rich voice, and intense performances.

Burton began his acting career on stage in the 1940s, and made his film debut in 1949 in the film "The Last Days of Dolwyn". He gained international fame for his role in the 1960 film "The Longest Day" and for his performance in the 1963 film "Cleopatra" alongside Elizabeth Taylor, with whom he had a famously tumultuous relationship.

Burton received seven Academy Award nominations throughout his career, including for his roles in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold". He also won two Tony Awards for his work on Broadway.

In addition to his acting career, Burton was also known for his love of poetry, and recorded several spoken-word albums of classic poetry, including the works of Dylan Thomas, John Donne, and Shakespeare.

Burton struggled with alcoholism throughout his life, which affected his health and ultimately led to his death from a cerebral hemorrhage on August 5, 1984, at the age of 58. Despite his personal struggles, Burton remains an icon of the stage and screen, remembered for his powerful performances and commanding presence.
